Chapter 22
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
Finley
My body’s on fire right now and the fire master is moving between my outspread legs. “God, Mercury,” I beg as he breathes in deeply.
“Just finishing what I started in the shower,” he murmurs before he swipes his tongue across my aching pussy.
“Holy shitballs,” I utter as he starts working me over.
He licks, sucks, and nibbles until I’m nearly crying for a release. But when he adds one thick finger, I nearly pop off. My body is strung as tight as a drum and I can feel my orgasm hovering on the horizon.
“Gotta get you ready,” he replies, his voice muffled by my pussy.
I briefly wonder if anyone’s ever been smothered while engaging in oral sex, then decide I don’t care. What a way to go and any horror at someone finding me in that manner wouldn’t matter because I wouldn’t care if they saw my naked body caught in the throes of coitus.
“I’m ready,” I plead when he sends a second finger into my core then starts to thrust them in and out in a steady rhythm. “I promise, I’m ready, Mercury,” I groan out when he hits my G-spot.
I may not have had countless lovers in my past thanks to my trust issues, but right now, Mercury owns me, body and soul. The love I feel for him explodes around me, only I refuse to say those three little words in the throes of passion, when life is beyond good.
“You’re coming on my fingers and tongue first,” he demands before increasing his speed.
“Well, get ready, hot shot, because I’m coming,” I keen out, my back bowing as pleasure rolls through me on a continuous, non-ending wave. He rides it out with me, his fingers and lips never stopping until I pull away because it’s suddenly far too sensitive.
“Good girl,” he whispers as he crawls up my body and notches his cock at my entrance.
A sudden thought pops into my head. “I’m on the implant,” I say.
“Wouldn’t matter. You’re mine, plain and simple. But I’m glad you said something because I want you all to myself for quite some time before we start adding kids to the mix.”
Just like his oral assault, his physical one consumes all of my senses.
I kiss, scratch, and lick every inch of skin I can reach as he moves over my body in a dance that’s older than time.
It’s not long before I feel my pussy fluttering around him and his previously steady movements become somewhat erratic.
His pubic bone hitting my clit sends me into orbit and as I cry out his name, he stills and I can feel him pulsing deep inside me, filling me with his cum. For a brief second, I think about babies, specifically his babies but he’s right, I want time for us.
Long, breathless minutes pass as he kisses me, pouring everything into the action while I reply in kind. “That was awesome,” I exclaim once I can talk coherently.
“And it’s only gonna get better from here,” he says, rolling to his side and curling me into him.
“It’s all fun and games until we have to get up so early,” I grouse as we dry off from our shower. Despite being bleary-eyed from lack of sleep, my body positively hums from all the attention it got throughout the night.
He smirks at me, looking more relaxed than I’ve ever seen him as he runs a brush through his hair. “You know you’re excited about going to the shop to help get shit organized, Fin.”
“Could’ve gotten a few more hours of sleep first,” I reply, my voice pouty as I quickly braid my hair so it’ll stay out of my face.
“Same, babe, but Orion’s excited which is why he likely sent the text as early as he did,” he reasons.
I stomp back into the bedroom, thankful that Mercury went up to my room and grabbed some clothes for me so I’m not marching through the house with nothing but a towel wrapped around me.
While I’m positive that everyone knows about our relationship status changing, I refuse to do the walk of shame.
That’s for college co-eds and bar pickups and I’m neither one of those.
“At five in the morning? The man is gonna learn boundaries if I have to use my socket wrench to beat it into him,” I grouse as I get dressed.
Seeing Mercury walk back in behind me, his naked body on glorious display momentarily distracts me from my mini rant. There’s just so much to look at and all of it is sublime, causing my mouth to go dry. He sees the look on my face and chuckles as he moves to the dresser to grab some clean clothes.
“Now that it’s been thoroughly cleaned by the company y’all found, and the prospects repainted the interior and put together all the shelving units that finally arrived, he’s starting to realize a dream is about to come true.”
“Fine, I’ll cut him a little bit of slack, but I’m still going to tell him that normal people don’t text at five o’clock in the morning unless there’s an emergency of some sort!” I exclaim.
Because if I’m being completely honest with myself, I’m kind of excited to see how it looks now that everything is fresh and clean. My hands clench in excitement which has Mercury chuckling since he didn’t miss the action.
“Ah, Miss Lazybones has risen,” Orion snarks as we walk into the kitchen.
“Considering I thought it would be a few more days before it would be done, I’m allowed to laze around,” I retort. “How did all of it get accomplished so quickly, anyhow?”
Orion chuckles as he butters some toast then puts it on top of a growing pile, while Gemini does something at the stove.
Since I hear popping and sizzling, I’ll pray he’s cooking bacon.
“Well, while you two lovebirds were walking around outside, several of us met the cleaning crew at the shop. As they finished an area, we painted while a couple of the prospects who were able to come put the shelving units together.”
“Y’all must’ve been there most of the night,” I murmur before taking my first sip of the crisp, icy cold diet soda that Mercury hands me.
“Look, when the cleaning company calls and says they had an unexpected cancellation due to a power outage in the area they were supposed to go to, and they offer to have two of their crews come out, you don’t say no,” Orion says.
“Pisces and Aries offered to stay since y’all were out and about, but the rest of us jumped at the chance to get another business up and running. ”
“You’re just sore because you didn’t get enough sleep,” Pisces interjects, winking at me and smirking at Mercury.
Then, he looks at Gemini and states, “Soundproofing, Gem, please tell me you’ve considered that for the new clubhouse.
Either that or I’m going to demand a set of noise cancelling headphones so I can get some sleep. ”
Chuckles reverberate around the room as I feel my face grow hot with embarrassment.
Mercury, that rat bastard, stands there with a smug look on his face as his cousins continue to give us shit.
I know it’s their weird way of bonding, but it suddenly gets to be too much and I snap, “I can’t wait until y’all find someone to walk alongside you.
Then I’ll know who can dish it out and whether you can take it. ”
A warm arm goes around my shoulders as Orion pulls me in and says, “Calm yourself, Fin, we’re just happy that the surly bastard found someone who can tolerate him. We’re not trying to embarrass you, I promise.”
I shove an elbow into his gut, causing him to make an oomph sound before he backs away, cackling. “I see someone needs more caffeine, beauty sleep, and food,” he chortles.
Rolling my eyes at his antics, I toss my hand up in a peace sign and say, “Then you better get your roll on dude, because I want donuts and maybe an apple fritter.” I know they’re cooking, but I do want to see the shop, so to keep me happy, Orion better get his ass in gear.
Or else.
